Ahmnodt Heare For America… Ahmnodt Heare For You.

2012 NFL Season – Division Round

Last Week: 2-2 (.500) Playoffs: 2-2 (.500)

You win some, you lose some. The ones I lost (Minnesota and Baltimore) came close to covering the point spread. But close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and with impatient people who just want to go home. Once again I will give insight into the games. Please don’t laugh.

1/12 4:30 ET Baltimore (+9.5) at Denver
Thirty years ago, John Elway had an opportunity to play for Baltimore (Colts). He demanded to be traded and was traded to the Denver Broncos. There was what seemed to be an annual tradition of the Broncos playing the Browns for the AFC Championship. The Broncos won all those games and the-then Browns soon after moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. None of this has anything to do with Saturday’s game, except that John Elway is now the Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Broncos and Art Modell (former owner of the Browns/Ravens) recently passed away and the current Ravens have a “Art” patch on their uniforms in his honor. The Broncos will continue to be a pain to Art Modell post-mortem. Take the Broncos and give the points.

1/12 8:00 ET Green Bay (+3) at San Francisco

This would have been the rematch of last year’s NFC Championship game, except that the Packers somehow lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. While the stats would suggest to take the 49ers and give the points, I have a feeling that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers find a way to win this one. Or maybe not. Take the 49ers and give the points.

1/13 1:00 ET Seattle (+2.5) at Atlanta

I’ll keep my logic simple. This will be a hard fought defensive battle. In battles like these, the team with the better running game usually wins. Few things are harder than tackling Marshawn Lynch. Here is a video of him in the 2010 Wild Card game against the New Orleans Saints:

Take the Seahawks and the points.

1/13 4:30 ET Houston (+9.5) at New England

Once upon a time, this game would have been a close game and it would have been in Houston because they had the best record in the NFL for most of the season. But football is a 16-game season and the Texans fell apart after their twelfth game. The Patriots have been on a roll aside from a hiccup against the 49ers a few weeks ago. Take the Patriots and give the points.

John Elway retired following the 1998 season, and Brian Griese started at quarterback for the next 4 seasons. After a 6–10 record in 1999 , the Broncos recovered in 2000 , earning a Wild Card playoff berth, but losing to the Baltimore Ravens . After missing the playoffs the following two seasons, former Arizona Cardinals ‘ quarterback Jake Plummer replaced Griese in 2003 , and led the Broncos to two straight 10–6 seasons, earning Wild Card playoff berths both years. However, the Broncos went on the road to face the Indianapolis Colts in back-to-back seasons and were blown out by more than 20 points in each game, allowing a combined 90 points.

About

Ahmnodt Heare is a fictional character running a real campaign. He is an Independent candidate for President of the United States. His views on solving America’s problems is different than the ideas being offered by any Republican or Democratic candidate.

In the upcoming days, he will give a daily account of his political activities, campaigns, and other behind the scene activities like no other candidate ever has.

The purpose of this blog is to showing the absurdity of Ahmnodt Heare’s platform and show that the two major parties are equally absurd (especially at the federal level.)

If you are fed up with the two-party duopoly, then feel free to write in “Ahmnodt Heare” for the office of your choosing.
